Paintbrush Queen of the Southwest: Georgia O’Keeffe

I grew up with Georgia O’Keeffe as a constant art inspiration. In elementary school, I created my own interpretations of her flower paintings. Later, in middle school I recreated some of her abstracts with tiles to create massive mosaics. By far my favorite O’Keeffe paintings, however, are her New Mexico landscapes. I was born and raised in New Mexico, and I can vouch that her paintings capture both the spirit and beauty of this place.

In any case, she is a wonderful painter worth learning about and checking out. Those of you who are really inspired should visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico and tour Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu to really experience that land that so inspired her. It will definitely inspire you, too!
